What Manner of Prophet?

This is sad! Once again, the whole world woke up a few days ago to the news that the American Ambassador to Libya and some other diplomats had been murdered in cold blood under the excuse that a movie depicted prophet Muhammad in a negative light.

Incidentally, the silly impression being inadvertently and unwittingly being perpetuated by Muslims who claim to fight on behalf of their prophet is that the man can't help himself. This then can only make one wonder: What manner of prophet will need his followers to fight on his behalf? But then, to be fair to the prophet, is there any empirical evidence that he ever required his followers to fight on his behalf?

As a Christian, I can't imagine Jesus expecting me to fight on his behalf when he should be the one fighting on my behalf (to protect me). The moment I am expected to fight on behalf of Jesus, then he is no longer deemed relevant in my life. The rational here therefore is this: As an intercessor, if Jesus can't fight for himself, how can he fight for me?

Hmmmn.I love this so much.However,I have a question;havee we thought,what if this prophet isn't even interested in this fight?I mean,what if there's nothing to even fight for and these extremists are just wasting their time and innocent lives?
